YPC: Saudi-led aggression holds oil vessels for more than 72 days

The Yemeni Petroleum Company YPC stated that the US-Saudi-UAE aggression coalition has been holding the oil vessels for more than 72 days.

The company said in a statement, today Saturday, that the forces of aggression prevent the arrival of oil ships to the port of Hodeidah to cover the needs of citizens, to tighten the screws on citizens and increase their suffering despite the urgent need for petroleum materials.

The statement pointed out that the total seized quantities amounted to (12,910) tons of gasoline, (127,714) tons of diesel in addition to food ships and domestic gas.

In March 2015, the US-Saudi aggression started a war against Yemen with the declared aim of crushing the Houthi Ansarullah movement, who had taken over from the staunch Riyadh ally and fugitive former president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi.
